Bahaaeddin said the Egyptian government was looking forward to the partnership with Ethiopia regarding the $4.1 billion-Grand Renaissance Dam along the Nile River in the western Benishangul-Gumuz region, which will be completed by 2015 and generate 6000 mega watts of electricity.

Rationality in resource sharing

For years the Nile water abundantly and unfairly used by two countries only, especially by Egypt ignoring the upstream countries. This time for sure is , over and over. Do you expect Mr. minister Egypt should live at the expense of poor Ethiopian who are witnessing the water resources at their gate but not able to use it. This seems snatching his bread to sustain another life. Is it a question of whose live is greater than others?? I think fairly speaking nobody's life is higher than the other life. The best thing for the circumstance is to come to the table for genuine discussion and no wants confrontation. If it comes at the last resort nobody will retreat, and the result would be disaster for both. Come to your sense Mr. minister!

Water is more precious than oil

Maybe the best strategy is to become more efficient in the recycling process. By recycling water, Egypt will be able to sustain itself. Additionally, Egypt needs to make sure that its agricultural industry is extremely efficient in its use of water. The big problem is the growth in population. First it will be the water that is under pressure, and next will be more and more resources. There needs to be a push for people to stop having all these kids. Egypt needs a 2 child policy.

200 percent right

You said: "...Egypt needs a 2 child policy." And you are 200 percent right! To put children in this world means to carry responsibility for them and their future. But this word seems to be a foreign word to so many people... From where the work, the bread, the school places (and of course clean water) etc. will come from in the future? In the rural areas there are already unemploymentrates from about 50 percent... Responsibility is also the magic word with all the natural resources. Isn't this written in Quran??? This country will implode sooner or later. Not any word about this from the actual government...
